We’ve gotten a LOT of SDCC exclusives into the AFi offices these past couple of days and we don’t have time to do full features on them all before we leave for the con on Wednesday, so to some extent we are going to have to let the pictures speak for themselves.
As many of you know I’m an old school fan of Marvel Legends and have been with the line from the beginning. One of the trademarks of the original Legends line was that the Wires brothers were always innovating and experimenting with paint and trying to push the medium forward. It was something that many thought Hasbro stumbled with when they first took over the line. With the return of Marvel Legends this past year they have found their sea-legs and this set is proof of this.
The silver paint they use in this set, not just on the costume, but more specifically on Archangel’s wings and Wolverine’s claws is about as close as you can get to vac-metalization as you can get without that added process and cost as you can get.
One of the other remarkable things about this set is that Wolverine’s claws are separate pieces that are set into the hands instead of molded as one thing.

This set will be available at Comic Con at the HasbroToyShop booth during the con and there should be limited quantities available
